Lyttelton Port Company (LPC)\, like many ports\, has a diverse range of assets\, with some structures dating back to the 1800’s and the newest structures being completed in 2020. Over time there has been changes in shipping and operations\, with many structures currently being used for vessels and traffic that was never intended. However\, with time pressures\, ever changing trade demands\, sustainability and large capital costs; extending the life of existing assets\, rather than replacement\, is often the pragmatic and preferred option. This presentation discusses the overall annual asset management program at LPC that has been developed and implemented over the last 20+ years through close collaboration between WSP (previously Opus) and LPC and how it has improved the operational efficiency at the port \n\n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n William is a civil engineer with 6 years of full-time experience and two four-month internships in the prior two years in ports and marine engineering\, mainly focused on structural condition assessment of port infrastructure and implementation of repair strategies. He has led the Lyttelton Port annual inspection programme for WSP for the last 3 years\, working closely alongside Tristan and his team\n \n \n \n\n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n Tristan has worked at Lyttelton Port for 30 years and is currently the Head of Maintenance and Security. He’s been involved in the full spectrum from hands-on building and maintaining to leading teams to being in charge of the port assets and therefore has an in-depth understanding of what it takes to keep the Port operational.\n \n \n \nRangitata Diversion Race – Applying Asset Management Strategy\n\nBuilt in 1944 as public infrastructure\, then privatised in 1990\, the RDR has a chequered history of great engineering\, pro-active\, reactive\, precise and not-so-precise maintenance and renewal. Picking up 80 years of incomplete information and an uncertain future to form asset management tactics and consider funding has interesting challenges. We highlight some of these within the overview of this unique infrastructure.\n \n\n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n Tony McCormick is the Chief Executive of RDR Management Ltd (RDRML)\, overseeing the operation and strategic direction of the Rangitata Diversion Race (RDR)\, New Zealand’s largest water supply scheme.

This event will explore how fragmented practices have left property owners and managers exposed\, with issues such as missing design records\, incomplete asset registers\, warranty disputes\, and inadequate lifecycle planning driving up costs and eroding confidence in the market. By referencing the Building Manual Guideline\, the discussion will show how better systems\, accountability\, and transparency can protect property value while reducing financial and safety risks. \nThe program will highlight the case for change\, shifting strata property asset management from reactive maintenance to proactive\, data-driven practices. This includes upskilling strata managers and owners’ corporations\, embedding robust governance structures\, and adopting tools such as digital records\, lifecycle costing\, and transparent levy planning. Key themes include liability management\, procurement responses\, ownership and co-funding models\, and the legal ramifications of poor documentation. Central to the discussion is how build quality achieved at the design\, approval\, and construction stages can be effectively translated into long-term occupancy asset management\, ensuring properties remain safe\, durable\, and financially sustainable throughout their lifecycle. \nBuilding on industry milestones such as the Shergold Weir Building Confidence Report (2018)\, the NSW Government’s response (2019)\, the Strata Community Association’s Building Manual Guideline (2020)\, and Engineers Australia’s 2023 report on managing building defects\, the event will emphasise that while property owners face genuine risks — from systemic defects and water ingress to unexpected financial shocks — there are also significant opportunities. Smarter property and strata asset management not only protects buyers and owners from risk but also enables innovation in sustainability\, transparency\, and long-term value creation. By addressing “buyer beware” challenges head-on\, the sector can move towards stronger\, safer\, and more resilient communities that align with both local and global best practices. \nClick here to register\n  \n\n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n James Sherrard is the NSW Building Commissioner.

Many public infrastructure systems — including roads\, bridges\, schools\, and utilities — were not designed to withstand current climate risks\, resulting in repeated damage\, costly rebuilds\, and long-term service disruptions. A key challenge lies in transitioning from reactive recovery efforts to proactive\, risk-informed asset planning and investment. Limited funding\, fragmented governance\, and inconsistent data on asset vulnerability further complicate coordinated resilience-building efforts. However\, there are growing opportunities to address these gaps. \nThe NSW Reconstruction Authority’s leadership in developing the State Disaster Mitigation Plan\, alongside AECOM’s technical expertise in resilience modelling and Moody’s Analytics’ insights into the rising economic costs of disasters\, are paving the way for smarter\, data-driven decision-making. Through collaborative planning\, stronger intergovernmental coordination\, and targeted investment in resilience upgrades\, NSW has a unique opportunity to embed long-term sustainability and community protection into its asset management systems. \nNSW continues to grapple with escalating climate-driven disasters — from the severe flooding in Northern NSW earlier this year to the bushfires in past seasons — that have spotlighted vulnerabilities in government-managed infrastructure. The state’s response demonstrates that the government’s approach must go beyond reactive recovery and focus on proactive resilience in asset management and planning. \nThis NSW-based resilience panel consists of representatives from: \n\nThe NSW Reconstruction Authority (RA)\, backed by more than $300 million in funding\, leading the recovery and mitigation effort through Australia’s first State Disaster Mitigation Plan (SDMP)\, released in February 2024\, and via grant programs such as the Community Assets Program and Central West Recovery & Resilience package (valued at $100 million). Through these initiatives\, damaged infrastructure — such as schools\, bridges\, and community centres — is being rebuilt with enhanced flood resilience and hazard-adaptive design.\nAECOM\, whose expertise in climate adaptation\, risk modelling\, and infrastructure hardening underpins projects such as the Sydney Resilience Strategy and climate-risk assessments for regional NSW retail centres affected by floods and cyclones.\nMoody’s Analytics\, which provides robust analytical modelling approaches. Recent assessments suggest that bushfire-related losses may exceed $4.4 billion and that annual disaster costs across Australia could more than double to $39 billion by 2050.\n\nThe session will blend case studies\, policy panels\, and technical sessions geared towards strengthening government-led asset resilience and advancing community recovery across NSW. \nClick here to register \n\n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n Amanda Leck is the Deputy Secretary and Group Head of Adaptation\, Mitigation and Reconstruction with the NSW Reconstruction Authority.
